Lufthansa strike extended

Travel by Plane

Long distance and cargo flights

Today's strike of Lufthansa pilotes affects short and medium haul operations, including several flights from Austria to Germany and vice versa. The German association Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) now announced an extension for tomorrow, March 19th 2015.

While short haul flights will be resumed, long distance and cargo flights won't be operated. The strike won't affect Eurowings and Germanwings.

Lufthansa will publish a special flight schedule at noon in order to enable passengers to check their flights and possibilities for rebooking or cancellation.

A decision by the ECJ has once again clearly strengthened air passenger rights. If a flight is cancelled or significantly delayed due to an announced strike by airline staff, passengers may have a right to compensation.

Refunds through booking platforms are particularly difficult. Those who have booked flights with intermediaries such as Opodo, Expedia & Co that were cancelled due to the pandemic are having a hard time getting their money back. Enquiries are piling up at arbitration offices and consumer protection agencies.
